Yeah, way different PR situation now a days with teams tightly run on what gets said and by who. Teams now shield problem players from public criticism from within as much as possible to avoid lowering trade value.
Back then it was just "Yeah, so this guy sucks and is hard to be on a team with so we're going to try to trade him", lol.
